HS-802 thrower moded to MC-E

Well , it was R2 at around 1.4A after some minor parts swaps ..
But after seeing a TK30 , I thought , hmmmmm , why not MC-E .

So I came home and swapped emitters and drivers to make this light MC-E .
Much nicer beam now , lights things up real nice . Still throws , but not as well as the R2 , but the beam with the R2 was way too narrow , it was the spill that lit everything up , now I have much more powerful spill and still good throw .

I need a dark night , low cloud last night , so way too much light pollution .
But it seemed to throw as well as before ?? hmmm .

I like it like this ...

I'm gearing up to attempt this with an SST/SSR 50. Q: does the HS-802 take a 20mm hex star, or a smaller (16mm) round star board? Thanks.

Its close , you might squeeze in a 20mm star with some file work .
